Derivados financieros como herramientas para mitigar el riesgo cambiario en empresas de instrumentación y control industrial en Colombia

This research addresses exchange rate risk in Colombian companies in the industrial instrumentation and control sector, which are highly exposed to exchange rate volatility due to their dependence on foreign equipment and technology, thus impacting their financial stability. The lack of hedging strategies increases this exposure, generating uncertainty in cost management and profit margins. As an alternative to mitigate this risk, the research proposes the use of financial derivatives, instruments for managing exchange rate exposure that, despite being efficient in stabilizing costs and financial planning, exhibit limited implementation in the Colombian market due to a lack of knowledge. The research determines the implications of applying this strategy, providing an analysis to help Colombian companies in the sector make decisions regarding exchange rate risk management through financial derivatives.
